We just had a great week in London. Here is a video of us playing 'Buffalo' on Later With Jools Holland. It was definitely a unique experience for the band. The BBC TV centre is a 60's masterpiece. I was especially fond of the liberal use of the iconic BBC font.
We may have been a little nervous, but those feelings were quashed when our friend Rachel (formerly of Loop, now entrenched in the land of the beeb) sent us off to a Palestinian falafel joint that was out-of-this-world good. We seem to be fairly food obsessed as a band, and while I managed to wander over to Chris Martin and say hello I was too nervous to even look at Peter Gordon at his new cafe Kopapa. The turkish eggs are my new favourite thing, I need a recipe for them NOW!
The show in Highbury was also totally rad. All in all a marvelous trip to dear old blighty! xx Samuel

Villa completes $10M capital campaign
St. Joseph's Villa recently completed its five-year, $10-million capital campaign, which funded improvements to campus safety, accessibility and infrastructure. Known as the "Believing Is Seeing Campaign," this was the first large-scale fundraising campaign undertaken by the Villa in its 178-year history.
With the support of 510 campaign donors—one-third of whom gave to the Villa for the first time—the amount raised totaled more than $10.7 million. All donors were invited to witness the public unveiling of the campaign total and walkway stones set in their honor Sept. 27 at a celebration on the Villa grounds.
"The Villa's transformation literally paves the way for new and exciting opportunities to better serve the region's most at-risk and disadvantaged populations for generations to come," said Kathleen Burke Barrett, chief executive officer of St. Joseph's Villa.
The campaign helped to fund:
• a new perimeter road and pedestrian avenue to separate pedestrians from high-volume vehicular traffic and safely connect campus resources;
• increased handicapped accessibility across campus;
• a new underground infrastructure and fiber optic technology;
• a renovation of the gymnasium;
• a new culinary arts center that trains students in life and career skills;
• restoration of the central garden and green spaces to promote modern practices in outdoor learning and therapy.

'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

News Marlboro College Partnership Creates Opportunities for Windham County Teens
MARLBORO, VT – (Monday, May 21) – Marlboro College and the Windham Regional Collegiate High School (WRCHS) are joining forces to offer four new dual-credit courses for area high school students, offering the challenge of a college class to promising young scholars. Marlboro is one of the first private institutions to collaborate with WRCHS, which has received state-wide recognition for its innovative model providing a bridge to college for public school students.
"Kids going off to college tend to struggle at first, learning how to think independently and how to work in groups," said Tom Yahn, WRCHS director. "I see Marlboro as being really good at teaching these skills. This is a great opportunity for high school students to learn about college-level learning." The goal of WRCHS is to remove the financial, academic and psychological barriers that prevent some students from going to, or succeeding in, college.
Participating students will earn credit towards high school graduation as well as college credit from Marlboro, based on an agreement between the college and WRCHS. Sponsoring Marlboro faculty members will review each course to ensure that it meets the requirements of a college course, and participate in the course as needed.
Brattleboro Union High School (BUHS) science teacher Mike Auerbach, Marlboro class of 1997, will collaborate with his former biology professor Jennifer Ramstetter to offer Global Science in the fall of 2012 at BUHS.
"Marlboro had a lot to do with my learning how to think scientifically," said Auerbach. "With Jenny, I learned how to think of science as a process and focus my questions, rather than thinking in terms of unfounded generalities."
High school students particularly passionate about the topic will also be invited to join Marlboro College students for a spring course in Environmental Sustainability on the Marlboro campus.
"My students think of science as something they have to do," Auerbach added. "I look forward to them seeing other students doing science and being really passionate about it.
Similarly, BUHS social studies teacher Tim Kipp and Marlboro American studies professor Kate Ratcliff will partner to offer Elections and Government in the fall, and a linked social science course at Marlboro in the spring.
"Our parallel model will leave lots of room for collaboration, which promises to be a very rich opportunity," said Ratcliff. "This will be good for our students as well, because you learn a lot from being a mentor. I look forward to many stimulating discussions.
"I've been looking forward to this integration with Marlboro for a long time," said Kipp. "The transition from high school to college is such a gulf. This program will help students understand and navigate that transition."
Ron Stahley, superintendent of schools for the Windham Southeast Supervisory Union, said, "The WRCHS program has really taken off over the last four years." The program has formed partnerships with Community College of Vermont, Vermont Technical College, School for International Training and community colleges in New Hampshire. Next year they will provide 33 dual-degree courses for more than 400 high school students, nearly half of them low-income or first generation college students.
"We've often thought about Marlboro College, and these pilot classes are really exciting," added Stahley. "Marlboro has the faculty autonomy and flexibility that will lead to a great collaboration and a great program."
Windham Regional Collegiate High School engages high school students in southeastern Vermont, and neighboring New Hampshire, in a rigorous, supportive learning environment that blends high school and the first two years of college through affordable dual credit courses.
Marlboro College has offered undergraduate education in the liberal arts for 60 years, with 300 undergraduate students enjoying an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 300-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont. Marlboro College Graduate School offers master's degree programs for working adults in the areas of education, internet technologies, health care administration, non-profit administration and an MBA in Managing for Sustainability, with courses designed around small classes at the downtown Brattleboro campus complemented by online work and close collaboration.

Welcome back to An Expert's Audit. Every month we'll take a look at a reader's keeper league team in the hopes of helping him toward a championship. If you're interested in getting an audit for your own keeper team you can begin the process by emailing Dobber about it.
I had my birthday this past month and I find that as I get older it can be extra irritating to deal with people who are half your age, particularly if half your age makes them old enough to drink, vote and die in a war. Man I'm old. Gary G is 22 and the reigning champ in a 10 ESPN H2H league. The league settings are G, A, P, +/-, PIM, PPP, and GWG to go along with W, SV, SO, GAA and SV% for goalies. He's a Pens fan who has made some really adept trades to get where he is right now. It's insane the sort of keeper options he has at his disposal.
Without further ado let's take a look at Bett(y)man.
C Sidney Crosby PIT – the best fantasy asset in the game right now. Nuff said.
C Evgeni Malkin PIT – he's actually had a bit of a down year so far but he can turn a game with his talent just as quickly as his captain can. Remember that short side backhand in game 3 against the Canes in '09? That's the sort of stuff that he can do, and will do.
C Derek Roy BUF – so let me get this straight, your C3 is projected for 70 points and is on pace for 80? Niiiiiiiiiice.
LW Daniel Sedin VAN – I still say there'll be a 50 goal season out of him one day and part of me thought it might happen this year given how big a season his brother had passing saucers last year. It's not happening this year I don't imagine but still, it'll happen one day.
LW Alexander Ovechkin WAS – if only your league counted SOG too then it'd be even more embarrassing the riches you have at your disposal. Just wait til AO shows his MVP talent on a regular basis like he has in the past.
LW Tyler Ennis BUF – he's in a bit of a slump right now after starting off the season very well. He's only gotten three points since mid November and all of those were in one game on December 3. The former Slugs are about to make a run now that Miller is healthy and this kid will need to step up and contribute like he did at the beginning of the season when he was working at a half point per game.
RW Justin Williams LA – he hasn't played more than 49 games in any of the last five seasons but before that he was a 30 goal guy. If he plays 70 games or more this season, and I say he does, then he'll return to 30 goals again.
RW Jeff Skinner CAR – he's on pace for 24 goals and 61 points this season and I'd absolutely take that out of any rook on any team. I wasn't expecting this sort of production and I actually picked several other non-touted types to be doing better than him. I think it's wonderful for your team to have a nice depth option like him.
RW Mikael Samuelsson VAN – I just don't like this guy for much production given the other options in Vancouver. I didn't think it was a good signing a couple years ago, I wasn't surprised that he didn't make the Swedish Olympic team and I'm not surprised by his relative lack of production. The one thing he does is shoot the puck when he gets enough ice time but your league doesn't count SOG so he's not much use to you. Now having said that, you don't have better options available to you at RW.
D Erik Karlsson OTW – I'm most worried about his +/- but everything else is going to be stellar for a lot of years. He was just short of 30 points last season and he'll easily bust open that career high this year.
D Mark Giordano CAL – Ian White was moved to Carolina and I think it has created some extra opportunity for Giordie. He's actually had seven points in seven games since the end of November.
D Shea Weber NAS – he's only on pace for a 30-point season and given the fact that he's your best D then it'd be a huge disappointment unless he picks up the pace in a huge way.
D Keith Yandle PHX – I can't believe how much the Yotes offense has fallen off this season so far but Yandle is leading the way for what few bright lights there have been in the desert.
Util Sean Avery NYR – I love having this guy on any fantasy team that counts PIMs and I hate it whenever I watch the circus that is his hockey life sometimes. He'll be among the Top 2 pt/PIM options in the league this year.
G Jaroslav Halak STL – in this league he's a fantastic option because he gets minutes and wins, the ratios are excellent, he sees a decent amount of rubber and he gets his share of shutties. You only keep four players from year to year but right now he's your fifth best option.
G Marc-Andre Fleury PIT – if you can then it's fun to roster some of your favourite players and MAF is one of those guys for you. It doesn't hurt that he's a great option for W's while keeping the ratios decent.
BN Pekka Rinne NAS – he has struggled so far this year but I point to a Preds offense that has done little to help their goalie reach for any W's. Rinne has a dinged knee but should be back and contributing around the new year. Hopefully by that time the offense has woken or continues like it looks to have done since his injury (they've gotten five out six points).
BN Michal Neuvirth WAS – he was great to start the season while Varlamov was shelved and now that Varlamov is back the battle rages for who's going to be the guy for the Caps. I've been saying for a couple years now that I like Neuvirth better in the end and I'm still hoping to see my prediction come true. Be patient here, if Neuvirth finally takes the job then there'll be a boatload of W's waiting for you.
BN Nik Antropov ATL – half of his production this season has happened in the last 30 days and I fully expect close to 60 points out of him by season's end (he's on pace for 40-some right now). The soon-to-be Winnipeg Thrashers (sorry QC) have been on fire through the first third of the season and they've done so without much of a contribution from anyone who wasn't a Blackhawk last season. Once Nik contributes on last year's pace (or better) then your team and theirs will be that much better for it.
BN Jiri Hudler DET – cut bait. Run away. He was relegated to the bottom of their roster and he should be right off of yours. Soon you were saying, "Jiri who?"
BN Eric Fehr WAS – he got 50 goals as a Junior and put up 21 as an NHL'er last year but he has completely dropped off the table this season. He's not doing you much good and I've got to think there are better options for you in a trade or on the wire.
BN Marek Zidlicky MIN – what is it about players whose last name starts with Z that makes them sound so cool? Seriously, if Zarley Zalapski was the coolest name in hockey then how could anyone named Zidlicky not get great props in NHL circles? There's even the innuendo option, and don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. A 40 pt D is worth gold in any fantasy league and Z'lick is on pace for 59 this season as that Wild PP has been a wild PP.
The very first thought I had when I saw this team was to wonder if a team that already had Sid, Geno, Dank and AO really needed any help whatsoever but there is a depth problem on this team that needed addressing. Those 4 keeps are obvious strengths and the goaltending situation looks pretty excellent while the bottom of your skater roster needs some upgrading, particularly at RW.
Waiver Wire Options
John Carlson WAS – I realize you only roster 40 D in your entire league but I've got to think that Carlson is among those 40 D. There's no way he should have been sent to the wire, even after going pointless for half of November. Your team is just that much deeper by having him on it.
Travis Zajac NJ – it's true that he's been ice cold all season but he was nearly a pt/game player last year and if he can put together some chemistry with Kovalchuk and Langenbrunner then all of them will be better options this season. It's a bit of a gamble but one that I'm taking myself in one of my leagues.
Mark Streit NYI – well you might only get a month's worth of games out of him but he makes your team deeper.
Corey Crawford CHI – uh ok, why isn't this guy on a team in your league? Well, you have some depth in goal already but why not make it deeper if you can eh? Yes please.
Ales Hemsky EDM – he may be made of peanut brittle, he crumbles into small pieces so easily, but when he's healthy he's worth the points that he puts up, particularly assists. At any rate, you have a depth problem and you might just catch lightning in a bottle if he returns and puts up the points he's capable of putting up.
Trading Options
The only way you should be trading any of your four keeps would be if you are upgrading to a different keep. Pretty much unless someone is offering you Stamkos then you'll stick with your Top 4.
You traded Pekka Rinne, Marek Zidlicky and Mikael Samuelsson for Claude Giroux and T.J. Oshie – your goaltending was so strong that you could definitely afford to move a goalie for an upgrade on the wing. The fact that Oshie was included only helps your team when he returns In February. The guy on the other end of this deal was pretty desperate for goaltending and we were able to take advantage of that. This was a sweet, sweet deal.
Ok, you had four phenomenal options at the top of your roster and you had deep goaltending that you could afford to move to strengthen a depth problem. You added every single one of the waiver wire options and you made a trade where you took advantage of someone else's need in order to make your RW stronger. Giroux is a monster in waiting and you could move a decent young goaltender in order to get depth where you needed it. On top of that trade you added some young stars in John Carlson and Corey Crawford to go along with some better vets than those you already had available to you. We did a lot of work this month and you solidified your team for another run at the championship.
Good luck to you kid. Now pull your pants up a bit and turn your hat back around ... punk.

Think it's rediculous that any 10 team keeper team should have all 3 of OV, Malks, and Croz. Clearly the other members of that league are in the coma ward of some hospital somewhere....

Analysts gave Las Vegas Sands a "buy" rating recently, and traders are following that recommendation.
OptionMonster's tracking programs detected buying in the July 55 calls yesterday. The casino operator drew large purchases for $0.52, much of it in a single block.
Those contracts lock in the price where the stock can be bought no matter how far it might rise. That could provide substantial leverage if the shares rally.
LVS rose 1.32 percent to $51.38 yesterday. It pulled back from above $60 in May and traded all the way down to $48 earlier in the week.
Craig-Hallum raised its rating on the name to "buy" from "neutral" on Tuesday and said it sees the stock going back to at least $59. Nomura was also recently issued an opinion that the recent selloff provides a buying opportunity for casino companies that operate in Macau.
A little more than 40,000 options changed hands in the name yesterday, led by 29,000 calls.

Posts Tagged 's.i.r. productions'
I am quickly interrupting your Anal Week posts to tell you some very exciting news!
This note comes from the Femmepress Shar Rednour herself, who wrote to me to let me know that S.I.R. Productions—Shar and her partner Jackie Strano, the amazing butch/femme couple who brought you Sugar High Glitter City, Talk To Me Baby, Hard Love/How to Fuck in High Heels, and Bend Over Boyfriend—is casting for a new film!
Read on for the details, what S.I.R. is looking for, and how to contact Shar if, perhaps, you're interested:
Hey Sugarbutch: thought you should be the first to know that over here on the west coast, [S.I.R. Productions is] casting for a new movie. We did a general call a couple of years ago to see who was out there and interested. We got some hot and fabulous people. But the time just wasn't right for us personally to make a movie.
Now we are ready and randy to go.
NOW: specifically we need a super hot in love in lust butch femme couple. NO EXPERIENCE needed. not at all. Jackie and I really like to work with people who are hard-workers, fun, NOT wendy-whiners, way into sex and bodies and love and lust and truth and art and feminism and beauty. Furthermore we would love to take your fm virginity. in the end though virgins or pros, just in love and hot. You do NOT need to live on the west coast. I would love nothing more than to cast fabulous folks from anywhere.
NEXT: we are collecting resumes and contact info for people who want to be in our next movie in general. again. NO EXPERIENCE necessary. What we have always done is putting puzzle together-finding the people who really fit a role in the script.
We are casting for a dyke movie and we always are on the lookout for the next Bend Over Boyfriend 3, so tell your freaky-deaky het friends.
And last but not least, I am the wife to Jackie Strano the C.O.O. of Good Vibrations and they are casting as well for Pleasure Ed. I help them out when I can too, passing on a contact that I like or think is appropriate. They are looking for super hot couples with one person who G-spot ejaculates.
So please, Sugarbutch, can you tell your peeps to email SharRednour [at] comcast.net, or befriend me on Facebook, with a note telling me you are interested in casting..
Anything for you, Shar. Hey peeps: want to be in a porn film? Are you a butch/femme couple in love and lust, or do you know one?
And Shar … if you ever want to swap for an evening, I know, ahem, Kristen's got a mad crush on Jackie.
Shar & Jackie from March, 2004 (D. Ross Cameron/The Oakland Tribune)

Do you remember Hard Love & How to Fuck in High Heels and Sugar High Glitter City? They were the very first butch/femme dyke porn I ever saw, and I have a special little place in my, uh, heart, for the work of S.I.R. Productions, and the smokin' hot couple behind it, Shar Rednour and Jackie Strano.
I never saw their third (or perhaps fourth?) film, Talk To Me Baby: A Lover's Guide to Dirty Talk and Role Play, but it was just released by Hot Movies 4 Her as a video on demand! So of course I rushed to watch it.
It's 57 minutes long and I think it is mostly clips of scenes from their other films—the last scene, for example, is one of the first scenes in Hard Love where Jackie is jacking off and talking dirty, which is incredibly hot. There are a few hetero scenes, but the talking is lovely, sexy, and interesting.
Here's the HM4H description:
Talk To Me Baby: A Lover's Guide To Dirty Talk & Role Play: This lovers' guide to dirty talk and role play teaches and shows how having a smutty mouth can spice up your sex life. Sex educator and performer Shar Rednour reigns as the Diva of Dirty Talk hosting a bevy of lust-driven lovers who melt the screen with passionate pillow talk and scorching sexual fantasy in this XXplicit viceo by the creators of the AVN Award Winning dyke hit Hard love & How to Fuck in High Heels and the groundbreaking Bend Over Boyfriend series.
I haven't actually seen the Bend Over Boyfriend series, and I think the first two came between S.I.R.'s first two dyke porns and this one, but if some of what's in Talk To Me Baby is clips from that series, it's pretty damn good.
If you're Shar & Jackie fans, like Kristen and I both are, you might be a bit disappointed that this isn't actually Shar and Jackie talking dirty to each other on camera. Kristen said that's what she was hoping it would be. (Shar and/or Jackie! You could still make that video, ya know? Please add it to your list of possibilities, if you feel inspired to make it in the future I would absolutely buy it. Video or audio recording!) It still has a lot of very useful tips, and some great examples, and it's a great place to start if you want to add more dirty talking to your sex life.
I know, I know: I already reviewed Sugar High Glitter City! What am I doing mentioning it again?
Well, it's worth mentioning twice. Because holy crap, Shar and Jackie. Swoon. I wish they would make some more porn.
But also, Hot Movies 4 Her (which powers the video-on-demand Sugarbutch queer porn affiliate site) JUST added Sugar High Glitter City to their repertoire. Lucky you! That means you can buy some minutes, check out each of the scenes, and only pay for the minutes you watch—so instead of making the DVD $30 investment (or whatever it is, jeez porn is expensive) you can watch the first few minutes (or the middle few minutes) of each scene and decide whether it's worth it to see the whole scene. Or fast forward when you're not into it.
Here's the HM4H writeup about the porn:
Sugar High Glitter City
Studio: S.I.R. Productions Directors: Jackie Strano & Shar Rednour
It's the future. Sugar is outlawed. Cane-addicted dykes stop at nothing to get it – even selling their own bodies! The dynamic dyke team of SIR Video slams the dykespoitation genre into fast-forward with this sticky-fingered belly-crawl through Glitter City's underworld of sugar-pimps and sandy hos. Fabulously diverse cast and multiple dyke sexualities crunch to the center in this fast-paced futuristic farce. Urban-encrusted glam, gutter-glitter lust, and candy-coated sleaze.
And if you click on over to the VOD site you'll see some of the photos from each of the scenes, too. That first scene—the threesome with two butches and a femme, where Jackie is talking dirty the whole time? Holy crap I love that one. I think I studied it about eight or so years ago when I had a VHS copy of it in order to learn how to talk that way. She's one of the best dirty talkers in porn I've ever seen.
Actually, speaking of dirty talk, S.I.R. Productions also has a "Talk Dirty To Me" film, which I've still never seen, but that I hear HM4H will be adding to their collection in the near future. Will most certainly watch that as soon as I can, and report back to y'all how it is.
This was absolutely the first butch/femme porn I ever saw, and it blew my mind. I had a VHS version until a few years ago – not sure what happened to it exactly, actually, haven't seen it since my cross-country move four years ago.
But: it was made in 2000. And I was OBSESSED with it in 2001. So when Babeland offered it up, I jumped, but wondered nervously: would it hold up? Would it be outdated?
Hard Love & How to Fuck in High Heels consists of two different films: Hard Love, which stars Jackie as directed by Shar, and How to Fuck in High Heels, starring Shar and directed by Jackie.
What's that? "Who are Shar & Jackie?" Oh, right. I talk about them both on a first-name basis as if I know them, but really I don't. (I did meet Shar once though. She asked me if I was packing. I was. It was hot, and I blushed hard. Did I ever write that story up on Sugarbutch?) They are a queer butch/femme couple, Shar Rednour and Jackie Strano, who I've known of since their porn company, S.I.R. Productions, put out both this film and others (such as Sugar High Glitter City – full review of that one coming soon too). I was obsessed with On Our Backs, too, and I vaguely remember them being featured in there at least once or twice. They were a high-profile visibly queer butch/femme couple when I was a babydyke, and I saw them as mentors and roll models, even if I didn't actually know them.
They've now been together 16 years. There was a great article in the The SF Chronicle recently about them and their three kids, which mentioned Sharlene's Babycakes.

Okay, back to the review:
Hard Love is not just a porn – it attempts a plot, a pair of former lovers who are still intertwined, and the two others they are now currently fucking. There were a few arguments between the characters – which, though I expected them, I found myself asking my computer, "really? I mean I know this is realistic and all, but can't I have my porn lesbian-drama-free? Must I deal with lesbionic relationship bullshit? I just want to get off …" yet I found myself invested, identifying with the characters (Jackie especially).
I admire the attempt by S.I.R. productions (which apparently stands for Sex, Indulgence, and Rock 'n' Roll) to put together a story, but also find it generally unnecessary, and sometimes distracting.
How to Fuck in High Heels is the shorter, second part of this video, consisting of one of Shar's performance poetry pieces of the same name. It is smutty, and showcases some great femme wear and cocks and heels, but it isn't porn the way Hard Love is. I do love it, because it's Shar, because I've seen it a hundred times, because it reminds me of queer performance poetry open mics. But it too is dated, and f I didn't have the history, the relationship, with S.I.R., I would probably be more critical. Still, in the interest of, ah, the evolution of dyke porn, this is a significant piece. And if you dig hot blonde femmes and strong sexy butches, you'll love it.
I was thrilled by it when I popped in the DVD and saw the familiar opening scene. You know how some movies are just forever embedded in your consciousness? Yeah, this one is. I studied the sex scenes with Jackie, though I wasn't certain wy she fascinated me so much. Did I want to do her or be her?
I love the scene when the femme is getting fucked in the kitchen. I love the scene where Jackie's ex meets up with her boi and does a striptease. I love watching Jackie jerk off while her lover eggs her on with dirty talk. I love Jackie's enthusiastic jump into the tub to be with her, later.
I loved it, but I hesitated to show it to Kristen. The clothes and hairstyles and shoes were dated. The camera work wasn't great, either – not compared to the recent high quality dyke porn. I worried she'd be critical of it, and I worried I had too much invested in it, given that it's imprint is burned on my brain like the burnt in ghostly imprint of text on an old monitor.
Eventually, Kristen and I did sit down to watch it, and her reaction was much as I suspected. We didn't make it through the first scene, but I insisted we forward it to the dirty talk/jerk off session. "Don't you want to watch Jackie come?" I enticed, knowing how much she appreciates a butch orgasm. She watched with interest, lips parted. I watched her. Then she insisted we turn it off and go fuck.
I'd say it's still got it's charm.
Stay tuned for reviews of Sugar High Glitter City, S.I.R. Production's 2nd butch/femme porn, and a porn giveaway of both of those DVDs!
You should buy Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels at Babeland.

Blackboard's existing Blackboard Mobile Central(TM) application already delivers a mobile campus experience that includes news, events, maps and sports among a range of student life and service options. Blackboard Mobile Learn will take the next step by bringing the classroom experience and learning content to the mobile environment, arming campuses with a high quality option to quickly meet the growing demand from students who want to do more with their smartphones and other Web-enabled devices.
With Blackboard Mobile Learn, students will be able to check grades and assignments, add comments to discussion boards, email instructors and classmates and post comments on blogs - all from their mobile devices.
"We're seeing greater interest in education focused mobile applications, and this is the first to give students such a robust teaching and learning experience," said Michael L. Chasen, Blackboard's President and CEO. "We see mobile as a transformative technology in engaging students, and we're rolling out options that let institutions get started quickly and in some cases without any additional investment."
Blackboard Mobile Learn will recreate and enrich the course experience of Blackboard Learn(TM), the leading Web-based teaching and learning platform, in native mobile applications that in June will support a selection of the world's most popular mobile platforms including iPhone(R) OS, Android and BlackBerry(R). Like Blackboard Mobile Central, Blackboard Mobile Learn is available through an annual license, will be branded under the school's name, and can be downloaded by students and faculty at mobile application stores.
Schools that are interested in experimenting with mobile learning on their campus for no additional charge can enable Wi-Fi access to Blackboard Mobile Learn on devices such as the iPhone and iPod touch(R) and, through a special partnership with Sprint (NYSE: S), on select smartphones powered by the Now Network(TM). The no cost options are intended to help institutions get started quickly without extra investments.
"Mobile adoption is happening faster than we expected, and it is being driven by changes in the way students want to consume information," said Brice Bible, Chief Information Officer at Ohio University. "Bringing the classroom experience to mobile devices is something that students and faculty are clearly looking for, and as we develop our strategy I'm excited about the possibilities of Blackboard Mobile Learn. Blackboard's ideas for mobile learning have a lot of merit."
Blackboard Mobile Learn will be available initially for U.S. and Puerto Rico higher education and professional education clients on Blackboard Learn Releases 8, 9 and higher. Details on availability for K-12 and international markets, as well as for previous versions of Blackboard Learn and the WebCT and ANGEL platforms, will follow. Blackboard Mobile Learn will be enabled with the free Blackboard Mobile Web Services Building Block(TM), which is available for download today at Blackboard's client support Web site, Behind the Blackboard(TM).

Iran criticizes Turkish request for Patriots
BEIRUT — Iran lashed out Friday at Turkey for requesting that NATO supply it with Patriot surface-to-air missiles to deploy along the border with Syria, denouncing the step by Ankara as counterproductive.
Iranian parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani made the remarks after a visit to Damascus, a show of support by Tehran to its increasingly diplomatically isolated ally.

Comments On Jan 21, 2011:I had this rack on the back of my 2007 XR650L. It has a sub frame that is narrow, and will catch on the lugs of a knobby tire, eliminating the last 4 inches of wheel travel. When landing even moderate jumps or riding whoops, the rear tire will bind up between the sides of this narrow bracket and stop the back tire, tossing you over the handle bars. If you never leave the ground, you will be ok. But for any serious riding, this is NOT your rack. I?m sure different motorcycles have different ways of being attached, so this review only applies to the XR650L.

It's a sign of how far the Irish hockey program has come in a very short time.
Former Notre Dame hockey player Mark Eaton has experienced just about everything the game of hockey has to offer in his 12 seasons in the NHL. From the agony of season-ending injuries...to the thrill of winning the Stanley Cup.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
But the 35 year old who's hockey career took off as 20 year old freshman skating in the Joyce Center...is amazed by what he sees now.
"It's amazing" Eaton says of the new facility.
"It rivals a lot of NHL arenas. An elite program needs an elite building and thats what they have."Eaton, and a rapidly growing group of Irish hockey alumni in the pros...are spending the week on campus participating in the first ever Notre Dame PRO hockey camp. A chance for NHL veterans to get back into playing shape with their peers...and reconnect with some old friends in the process.
"This is a great idea and hopefully the start of a great tradition", says Eaton. "It allows pro guys to get ready for their upcoming pro camps."These guys play in the best rinks North America has to offer on a nightly basis...but their reaction to the new Compton Family Ice Arena is almost unanimous.
"It's the nicest facility I've been in", former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Christian Hanson says.
"Pro, college, Europe. It's hands down the nicest I've seen."Go ahead and chalk it up to a little pride in their program. And who can blame them?
When these guys were in college...they played in arguably the worst rink in the country. And some of them weren't on very good teams either. But over the years, players like Eaton, and 2009 Stanley Cup champion Brett Lebda, and Erik Condra helped turn Notre Dame hockey from a bottom feeder, into one of the premiere programs in the country.The one thing they didn't get to experience in college...was a great place to call home. The Joyce Center lacked all the comforts that an NHL rink offers.
The Irish have that place now. And it's thanks largely to the contributions of these guys, that they do. No rise to national prominence? No growing presence in the pros? No new rink my friends.
These guys all played a big part in getting that new state of the art facility built. And now they're enjoying it for themselves.
"It's a lot of fun to come into a building like this", says Lebda.
Notre Dame has never had a pro camp before, partly because they didn't have a proper place to hold one, and partly because they didn't have enough pros to make it worthwhile.
Both of those concerns have been eliminated for now. And likely, forever.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (Dec. 26, 12:30 p.m. ET) — For Poly Recovery LLC, convincing companies like Redhook Brewery to turn trash to cash sometimes takes only a quick tour of the Dumpster. "They came out with all the things that could be recycled and said that they would pick it up once a week and even pay us," said Joe Thormer, GM of Redhook's Portsmouth brewery.

I have a two-piece Toto (not sure of the specific model name) with a fill valve set that includes the "ball" that floats up as the water level rises. Ever since the plumber installed it, it doesn't stop running after flushing. I need to pull the lid off and manually "help" the ball get up to a level where the water shuts off. The plumber who did this is not someone I'd recommend or ever use again for a variety of other reasons, so I'd rather tackle the repair on my own. Will the "Korky" Quiet Fill valve work on any Toto model? And, any suggestions on where to find that in the Seattle area? Thank you so much!
PS: I have three Toto Ultramax's in my other bathrooms, and want to say a sincere thanks to Terry for his recommendations on this site. It sounds a little funny to get excited about a toilet, but these are the best toilets I've ever used.

Comments about ClassicFlame Beauregard Electric Fireplace Entertainment Center in Antique Caramel - 25MM5045-C326:
Use this to hold all our stereo equipment as well as a decorative piece of furniture. The supplementary heat is a bonus. The flame is adjustable and is very nice and relaxing to look at. Unit was a bit noisy but the supplier sent us a new motor which solved the problem. We are very satisfied with the fireplace and service we received and would recommend this to anyone looking for a larger unit.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Where's the heat?"
By Mom 40
from Superior, WI
Searched high and low to get just the right fireplace for our new great room. After much searching, my husband and I decided on this one. It arrived in many boxes, but was very easy to inspect upon delivery. Very easy to put together. Wood looks real; no scratches or discolored areas. The only complaint is that when it's on, the only area that appears to get warm is the immediate area right in front of the fire place. I would anticipate that it would take a long time to heat a very large area. We are using it as supplemental heat to our great room. I would recommend for a small space or as supplemental heating. I wouldn't rely on it as a primary source of heat.

I've written an operating system and am interesting in supporting modern sound cards instead of just the PC speaker. I've looked for documentation, but no luck. Intel has some documentation on "AC'97" and "HD" in it's chipset datasheet. I can't afford the time to do support for many diverse cards and will not work without documentation.
Is "AC'97' or the "HD" protocol used much. What are the dominant cards? Will we see everybody move to "HD"? I have a creative sound card and I don't think it supports "AC'97".
This is very frustrating because all i need is a damn port to send data to a D-to-A convertor (buffered) to have the sound I want. I have spare CPU cores to create waveforms. I hate sound card companies and hope they dissappear as they get sucked-up by Intel, the only company friendly enough to document their hardware.
i could literally make a sound card faster than get somebody else' working. i did a simple ISA sound card, years ago and could make a buffered D-TO-A convertor card with a PCI FPGA kit type card. I hate sound card companies with a passion. I know DSP, by the way.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls of Evaluating and Implementing DCIM Solutions
While many who invest in Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software benefit greatly, some do not. Research has revealed a number of pitfalls that end users should avoid when evaluating and implementing DCIM solutions. Choosing an inappropriate solution, relying on inadequate processes, and a lack of commitment / ownership / knowledge can each undermine a chosen toolset's ability to deliver the value it was designed to provide. This paper describes these common pitfalls and provides practical guidance on how to avoid them.

3 Ways Business Planning is Like Dribbling a Ball
by Tim Berry, Guest Blogger
- Created: January 24, 2013, 7:20 pm
Think of basketball or soccer. In both of these popular sports, dribbling is what the players do to move the ball in the right direction. It's not the point of the game, it doesn't score baskets or goals, but it's an important skill, right? I think of dribbling as a great analogy for business planning. And here are some reasons why—and some lessons I suggest we can take from that.
- Dribbling is a means to an end—not the goal. Planning is like that too. It's about results, running a business—not at all about the plan itself. Good planning is measured by the decisions it causes. It's about managing, allocating resources and accountability. I've written this in several places: "You measure a business plan by the decisions it causes." And this: "Good business planning is nine parts execution for every one part strategy."
- Think of the moment when the player gets the ball in the wrong end of the court or field. That's either a defensive rebound in basketball or a missed shot on goal in soccer. The tall player gets the basketball and gives it to the one who normally dribbles up court. Or the goalie gets the ball and gives it to a defender. At that moment, in a well-coached team: 1) there is a plan in place and 2) the player knows the plan but is completely empowered to change the plan instantly depending on how the play develops. Business planning done right is very much like that. The existence of a plan—take the ball up the side, pass to the center—helps the team know what ought to happen. But changes—the opponents do something unexpected—are also expected. The game plan doesn't lock the players in to doing the wrong thing or not responding to developments. It helps them make the instant choices, changing the plan correctly...and when they do, the other players can guess the next step better because of the plan.
- Dribbling involves simultaneously looking up, at the field, and developments going on; and down, at the ball, hands, and feet, to manage the details. Proper business planning, in very much the same way, requires looking up at the figurative horizon—threats, opportunities, competition, market developments, etc.—and down at the details: tasks, deadlines, budgets, accountability, and of course cash flow and plan vs. actual.
I've always liked this analogy because it dispels the myth that having a plan reduces flexibility to react to developments. Planning isn't voided by change; on the contrary, having a plan makes reactions easier. There is no virtue in following a plan just because it's the plan. Proper planning means regular review and revision.
